Toyosatomimi no Miko is a character in the Touhou Project series introduced in its 13th installment, Ten Desires.
Miko was once Prince Shoutoku, a Japanese leader in the 600s known for promoting Buddhism and streamlining the Japanese government. In the Touhou lore, she was visited by Taoist hermit Seiga Kaku, who had heard about Miko’s longing for immortality. Seiga introduced her to Taoism, but she rejected it as a religion unfit for placating an entire country. She was intrigued by its promise of immortality, however, and privately converted to it, advocating for Buddhism to keep Japan stable. After drinking an “immortality elixir” (mercury sulfide), however, she was forced to let go of her body and become a supernatural hermit like Seiga, notably taking on the form of a woman, making her a canonically trans character (
).
After convincing a hermit from a rival clan (Mononobe no Futo) to sleep without decaying, Miko followed in suit, waiting for a time where a Taoist Japan would revive her in search of guidance. However, Buddhist monks were able to keep her mausoleum sealed, and the legends surrounding her were slowly brushed off- which led to her transportation into Gensokyo, where the folklore of old is a reality of everyday life.
When she awoke in Gensokyo, it was right after Buddhist monk Byakuren Hijiri opened her own temple, however, leading to a surge of divine spirits across the realm, setting up the events of Ten Desires.
What look like headphones on her are canonically earmuffs- Shoutoku was allegedly able to discern between ten questions asked at once, an ability carried by Miko (although with her enhanced abilities, she can also analyze each person and determine their inner desires (thus the title of the game))- although it means her hearing is highly sensitive and has to be muffled to prevent pain.

i used to work at a bakery, nowadays i work at the catering kitchen in a preschool
dozens of right-wingers just felt a shiver go through their spines and don’t understand why
But in all seriousness that actually sounds like a really nice job
It’s pretty chill, I only work 3 day weeks and make about the same that I did at the bakery. Unions are cool, folks.
Omg only working 3 days a week and affording to live!? Damn union jobs being fucking amazing
well I don’t need to pay rent due to living with parents, so it’s not really “livable” but it’s enough. The bakery job burned me out real bad and I can barely manage 3-4 day weeks without running out of energy / will to care, but things are pretty good right now
All that matters
Yeah, the bakery jobs I applied to (and never heard back from
) were kinda rough hours wise, but im also good at weird hours (working from 2:00 - 11:00? No prob).
Sorry you got burned out :/ its never fun and gets real difficult to manage (lowkey ive never recovered from my first burnout a couple years ago
, just kept trying to make things work and burning myself out again and again).
yea
It’s a bit of a shame, I had pretty good daylight hours, but I ended up doing 14h days for months on end. The longest day I did was 16 hours, followed by 4 hours of sleep and 12 more hours. In hindsight it’s no wonder I burned out
Holy shit thats so intense! I was struggling with 10hr doubles 6 days a week, i cant imagine 16 into a 12 the next day
i also did 1h 20min kettlebell training 5 days a week and went on 40minute HIIT runs, 4 times a week. kinda had to tbh, the work was brutal
was in a hell of a good shape though, still hated myself in the mirror
extra funny because i can literally hear the local chuds in my head
